Why won't you let them protect your privacy???
To be fair, I can actually sort-of see a specific point here:
They are legally required to offer you that cookie choice. If you block that choice, are they in violation of the law even if they cannot apply cookies? Just because their site does implement tech for it (even though you're blocking it, but the law cannot know that) and they cannot show you the popup allowing you to reject the tech (since you're blocking it)?
Weird thing. Doubt there'd be a clear answer without someone dragging someone else in front of a court for it, plus that's of course not why CNN is blocking us here, but it's an interesting thought whether they are even allowed to let you on if they cannot present you with the GDPR choice.
Yeah. GDPR should have been implemented as a mandatory part of HTML or even HTTP that interacts with a builtin browser feature. Let the user make the choice once, in the browser, and let the browser tell the visited site what's allowed. Statutory compliance would mean something like
Sounds like do not track +
Well, it kind of is. The Do Not Track header has recently seen a court win in Germany (source):
And it is basically the same in California too Source
Damn, that's amazing!
They should just treat it as declined every necessary cookie and move on
It's already supposed to be decline-by-default in this case (IIRC under GDPR)
Then why can over 100,000 other sites show their cookie banners as required by GDPR while Firefox + unlock origin is active, but somehow one of the largest media companies in America "just can't do it" without disabling your ad-blocker?
If they really couldn't do it, they would do like Home Depot did and block anyone in europe from accessing their site.
This is not about GDPR at all! This is exclusively about forcing you to disable your ad-blocker so they can make more money from offering a bad browsing experience.
Exactly, it works fine with third-party scripts blocked.
They offered it but you just didn't see it because blocked, so there.
